RAILKC AID CROSSINGS.

"Look here" said gentleman who was
standing in the boiling hot sun yesterday at
the Douglas avenue crossing for f-e ght
train to pass, 81 have stood here for half an
hour now and still that train blocks the way.
1t strikes me that they have no right to stop
travel along this principal thoroughfare any
such length of time"
"Well tell you that thisis not unfrequent-
ly the case,n remarked another ger tleman
near by. 81 live out on College Hill and
take the street car to reach the house. We
are often stopped. Why onlya few days
ago man in the same car with me said that
by his watch we were detained thirty
minutes
Just then policeman came up and said
every day am receiving complaints of the
blocking of this crossing. Just today a
freight train stood on the Central avenue
crossing for three-fourths of an hour. After
waiting for sometime l walked up to the
rear Of the car to see the conductor but
couldn't find him. l then started for the
other end of the train, but before l could
speak to the engineer they had pulled out"

NORMAL NOTES.
some days.

The weather continues.
DISTINGUISHED parties pronounce it very
warm. Notwithstanding this the Normal
grows larger and stronger.
Yesterday was the most interesting day OF
the institute up to date. The opening exer-
cises were conducted by Elder Peak.
Ninety-two per cent. of the number of
teachers enrolled were present at roll call.
The constitution class discussed the law and
manner of voting at townships and district
elections in this state. Authority on several
important points was produced and read by
yourg gentleman and then fully explained
by Prof. Shull.
p of. Pence also presented some valuable
hints and suggestions on legal topics.
In methods the best way of teaching num-
bers to primary classes was considered
Miss Davis gave an outline that would
surely, in simplicity and brevity, please and
rapidly instruct the child.
The lady ably maintained her position I'M
de r the attacks and criticisms of the mem
bers.
All agreed that objects should be used in
this case and in other primary work. But
care should be taken to make object lessons
and work a means by which to accomplish
an end-not the end in view.
Prof. Mcneil expressed his appreciation of
instructor and clsss in philosophy and highly
complimentcd them by saying it was
one of the best classes to which he ever lis
| tened in Institute work.
Mrs Taylor, president of the W. c. 7. T.,
was present and addressed the teachers on
the subject of special education. She showed
sprang from the immortality of the day in
which we live. Miss Haley accompanied
Mrs. Taylor.
An opportunity is given to those who de-
sire to study kindergarten plans and methods.
This is a rare privilege and the teachers
should avail themselves of it.
Thus another important feature is added
to our Normal.
We failed to get the benefit Of Prof. Nay
lor's military drill. Hope we will not be
disappointed today.
| Prof. Phillips devoted the hour In pen
manship to useful drills on principles and
regularity in formation of letters.
The institute has secured the services of an
eminent lecturer for next week. Prof Dins-
more of the State Normal will be with us.
Further announcement as TO time Of lect-
ure.
1t would be impossible to speak Of all the
good and useful things that cane up in yes
terdays program. After frantic effort in
this direction, this reporter concluded he / 40
missed his calling. With resigned spirit he
then wended his way disconsolately hcme
ward-to dinner and refrigerator.

IN NEMORIAM.

Goods finger touched her, and she slept"
So lately in our midst, seemingly in good
health, was the subject of this sketch; but
the mandate has been given, and we can but
obey the decree of Him who doeth all things
well The Arch-aI gel Of Death has crossed
our pathway, and its sombre shadows fall
upon q devoted mother, neighbor and friend.
Death in any form is unwelcome, but those
who have fought the battle Of life, witnessed
its struggles, enjoyed its pleasures, suffered
its pain and grown old, fall like the leaves of
autumn or the flowers that bloom latest in
the season. They should meet death as a
welcome messenger, because it is law OF
nature, the old must die" Thus was COM
mitted to mother earth on Tuesday, Aug 9Th,
the mortal remains of Mrs. Violetta NARROW,
there to await the resurrection morn. OF the
dead say nothing but good, is sentiment we
should all cherish, but how rich the legacy
and lovely the character of which nothing
but good can be said. Those who have en-
joyed her confidence and friendship knew
the beauty of her nature and the purity of
her character longer, could speak volumes
no doubt. Even we, who have such short
acquaintance with deceased, can not
repress a mention of her startling virtues,
and to US lie left the undying recollections.
We knew her as quiet unobtrusive chris
tian, the only thing worth struggling for in
this tranistory life; one who loved her
Savior, even ready 60 do all in her power for
the advancement of His cause,
and whose sweet gentle demeanor
won all to love and trust her.
To those who were near and dear as children,
we can deeply sympathize, for your light is
out, that persuasive voice, quiet, gentle
words of affectionate counsel is gone from a
living home on earth, to one that is never
Swallowed by such bereavements, to meet
loved ones gone before and to watch over
those left behind, drawing them by the
! sacred memories clustering around the holy
name Of mother. In Providences like this
the real solace and consolation is we shall
meet again in our fathers house above.

A DUDE KNOCKED OUT.

A young man who has been passing for
some time as dude got it squarely in the
neck few nights ago. A young lady hv-
ing in the north part of the city was detained
for some time on north main, and when she
did take car for her home found it to be the
last and the only other passenger the slim
dude who had been in the habit Of leering at
her on every favorable opportunity. The
dude, so the story goes, moved up near her
and made come insulting advances. The
young lady endured his conduct for a time
but finally losing her patience slapped him in
the mouth and followed up her vantage by
several blows under the jaw from her fist.
The driver by this time thought it his time to
take hand, collared his dudeship, mopped
him along the floor and threw him from the

AN ACCIDENT.

Ace Clark, carpenter, yesterday forenoon
met with quite severe accident de "as
employed upon house along the motor line
I'm the southeastern part of the city, when
the scaffold upon which he was working fell
to the ground. Mr.. Clark attempted to save
himself FROM a fall by catching upon the
frame of the building 1t was, however, not
strong enough to hold him and he fell back
ward, striking his left arm upon trusselI.
The injured man was then taken up and
carried to the Office Of Drs. Shultz & Terrill
on North Main. DR.. Shuts made an exami-
nation and found subglenoid dislocation
OF the head of the femur. This is one OF the
most painful to reset and it became neces-
sarv tn give the patient an anisthetic.

JBALKY PUMP.

The Crystal Ice plant had another break
down last Wednesday night. The pump
which broke few days ago again refused to
do its duty. Work was suspended for some
hours but the plant is now working as usual.
As result Of the temporary delay the
Crystal Ice wagons were delayed in many
sections of the city yesterday. The intense
heat of the day madelife burden, especially
when aware Of the fact that there was no ice
in the house.

1.-THE corn crop is certainly gone up if it

"The cattle will suffer from the drouth
soon in some sections of the state if the rain
don't come"
Such expressions as the above could be
heard yesterday in the business establish
ments, offices and on the streets. The wealth
er was the very absorbing topic OF discussion.
The broad leafed fan or the sombreo hat
worked with vigor in front Of the face
failed to scare the SWEET; it would trickle
down the face all the same uuless
the handkerchief was applied in
quick succession,
II ything could have demoralizing ef-

that business would have been Temporarily
put on the shelf yesterday, but business went
on all the same, those working putting just
little more than formerly if they happened
to be of the class that thought the day was

anxious to gain a point In business mat1ers'
Wichita doomed in business circles all the
same, and with vim indicating that 1t
would have to get good deal hotter before
the business community would haul Oft to
the mountains for repairs.
The early morning hours foretold coming
warm state of affairs. Near room the mer-
curry in the shade stood a little above
1903 in the shade. 1t remained there
until near O'Clock and until 5 in the even
ing, and then seemed unwilling to recede.
A few minutes before o'clock sharp clap
Of thunder revealed a happy change.
A half hour later the rain came
SA~o'
It continued so to do until 7:45, giving the
earth good drink
This restored confidence in the corn crop.
Those who had been inclined to predict bad
things about the crops felt almost ashamed
of themselves to have spoken so harshly OF
Kansas Then they seemed to think that q
moments thought for the worst was worthy
of "a severe criticism. The rain brought
''bearableness" to the atmosphere and togeth-
er with the crop consideration made all hap
py. Muddy as the streets were after the
rain the fine carriages were out by the hum
dreds playing with the Suffered earth as the
school boy with the snow. No longer did
any one ent. rtain any doubts concerning the
corn crop of the great southwest. The night
trains from the south and west brought pas
sengers happy to tell Of encountering heavy
rain storm on the journey.
